The 60-point margin of victory is the largest in the franchise’s history as previously it was 43 points in Dec. 29, 1994 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Spoelstra said that he hopes after that the huge victory, that the team starts “to build those habits” of winning every minute or possession.
“I mean, there’s a bunch of different ways you could approach this game but there was a professionalism from our part, and an energy and an intentionality. That’s really what we’re aiming for right now,” Spoelstra said. “That doesn’t guarantee you get the results you want, but you stack those kinds of minutes, possessions, quarters, games, and then you start to build those habits and hopefully that becomes more of who you are. But that was encouraging to see us be able to sustain that kind of energy and intentionality throughout the course of the game.”
Heat star Terry Rozier was exceptional in the 27 minutes played as he scored 22 points, making six three-pointers, recording six assists, and collecting three rebounds. While he said that he has never been a part of a 60-point win maybe since middle school, Rozier feels that a big win like this “feels good for the group.”
Maybe Middle School, but not at this level,” Rozier said when asked if he’s been part of a win like this. “I think it feels good for the whole group, and I think we all want to build off of this for the last nine games and make a strong push.”
“I mean, every game counts, every game matters,” Rozier continued. “So I think we want to win every game here on now. To win big like this, I think it feels good for the group, everybody feels good. “So going into the DC game, we can do the same thing. Hopefully. But you know, we got to take it one game at a time and we got to build off tonight, but it was it was huge for us.
